The Central Asiatics.

Gen. Prjeyalsky estimates the whole
population of Central Asia at about
$1,000 600, spread over an extent of 100, 0c0
square miles. Like all peoples living
under Asiatic despotis1n, they have no
notions whatever of virtue, honor or
duty, and they exhibit no leanings of any
kind toward European civilization and
culture. The most frightful immortality
and revolving despotisln reign in the family
life OF the sedentary populations, while
the n<Snads, strange to say, are milder,
more modest and more sincere.
The general expatiates at great length
ON their fervent desire to be annexed to
the Russian crown. Only in Thibet is
this feeling not pronounced, owing to the
fact that the Russians are SO little known
there. The dream of the nomadic Mon
gols, the Dougans-i. e., the Chinese
Mohammedans-and the inhabitants of
Eastern Iurkestan are to become inhabit
ants of the great white czar, whose name,
with that of the Dalai Lama, of Thibet,
figures in their imaginations as the sym
Dol OF magical power and authority
AT some places visited by the Russian
expedition the Mohammedan mollahs inn
plored the general TO permit them to rise
and murder every Chinese in the district
In the name of the mighty czar 'sOnly
trumpet the czar's name, y said these sup
plicants, from the mountain tops, and not
q single Chinese will 1ivei' The insup-
portable oppression of China on the one
side and the gradual introduction of order
and prosperity by Russia on the other
must inevitably push forward Russian
ominion.-London Times.

GEN. NICHOLS STRENGTH.


The strength of Gen. Nichols in
tits fight lies in the people. The office
holders are not for him, nor will they
he. With Nichols "a governor no man
can expect any favoritism; tax-collect-
ors will be made to settle with the
State for the full amount of taxes col
lected in each quarter, and when there
is a defalcation the bontlsmen of the
defaulter will ne made to pay into the
State treasury the amount of the deficit.
And the defaulter will be prosecuted,
too. There will be no halfway meas,
ures with those who have the peoples
interests in their hands. Every man
will be expected to step up to the cap
tain's Office and settle.'
1t is the conviction on the part Of the
people that Gen. Nichols is Il man OF
high character and honor, of known
integrity in the discharge OF public du-
ties,of perfect and complete impartial
ty between friend and foe, that is the
source of his strength. And that he
will be the next governor of Louisiana,
if he lives, is as certain as that night
follows the day.

A Fathers Advice.

The following is copy of letter
which prominent and very successful
business man of New York received
from his father when starting out in life.
1t is something which every boy should
read and preserve:
My DEAR Son You are now start
Ling on the ocean of life, at your own
risk, to be guided pretty much by your
own steering, so that under Providence,
your future success, happiness and re-
spectability will depend upon yourself.
By way of assisting you to shape out
your course, shall make few sugges-
tions in the way of advice to guide you.
When you arrive at Mr.. - (who, by
the way, is an old acquaintance of mine,
and an excellent MANI, you will deliver
him my letter, and as soon as possible
ask him to set you at work. Anything
you are at loss about or don't under
stand, ask his direction and do exactly
as he tells you, being particular to do
everything as he directs, and as neat
and quick as possible. Should custom
ers find fault at any time, be slow in
contradicting them, and then do it
pleasantly, and always coax them to
trade, for on that depends Mr.. IS
success and your usefulness. When
there are no customers in, look around,
dust off the shelves, counters, or floor,
and see that everything is in its place
| Do not be idle moment, and upon no
account absent yourself one minute from
the store, at least without his consent,
and seldom then. Be particular in
obeying his directions, and should he
find fault at any time (Which l am in
hopes he shall never have occasion to
do), do not answer back. Above all
things be honest and never tell lie.
In all things show him that you are use
full, and that you may depend that he
will use you well and give you many
advantages which will make your situa-
ton comfortable to yourself and profit
able to him. In SO large a city you
will meet with many temptations and
plots to lead you astray, and that by
those you least suspect. pray, as you
value your character, your health and
your soul, do watch and pray against
them, and the less you are out the bet
ter chance you will have to escape them.
When you have leisure from business,
improve yourself as much as you can by
studing and reading at home. By all
means attend church every Sabbath, for
more persons have gone astray and come
to a miserable end by breaking the Sab
bath and drinking than all other causes
put together. Remember that. And
as you were baptized and brought up in
the Presbyterian faith, I would recon-
med that you follow the same. Lay
not down your head at night or raise it
up in the morning without returning
thanks to and asking the blessing of
Almighty God. Be particular with
whom you keep company, for by your
company you will be judged.
Read these instructions frequently,
and may God bless and direct you.
YOUR AFFECTIoNATE FATHER.

Keep Pegging Away!

There's a maxim that's true,
And I'll tell it to you,
All pensive young fellows,
Who sometimes get blue:
When the clouds gather fast
Till they darken the day,
Pray don't get discouraged
Keep pegging away!
There is sunshine above,
Though it sometimes looks black ;
There's an ocean of blue sky
Above the cloud rack;
Through the showers of springtime
Comes forth smiling May:
So don't get discouraged
Keep pegging away!
It was care killed cat,
In the days that are flown;
And he's blind as bat
Who sits down to bemoan.
Be blithe and be cheerful,
Light-hearted and gay,
And don't get discouraged
Keep pegging away!
And if in this process
You chance to peg out,
Why, meet your fate bravely,
With heart good and stout.
And when all is ended,
The angels will say:
You did your work nobly,- .
Kept pegging away.
